Supporter of the Week 6

 Continuing our Supporter of the Week.. We are pleased to give you Stewart Croll, ably assisted by wee Davie! Have a read, enjoy and say hello to them when we get back to Scotstoun.

FAVOURITE GROUND -
has to be the Altrad stadium (home of Montpellier rugby) this was my first foreign trip away and the reception before the game by the Montpellier supporters club was superb. Amazing stadium that holds just over 15,000, oh to have one like that.. don’t know if it was a good decision to sit next to the Supporters brass band however ๐Ÿ™‚
BEST EXPERIENCE -
probably 2 occasions, first sitting at Scotstoun in 2015 for the nail biting semi final win against Ulster, winning it with a late kick and then the brilliant victory in Belfast where we destroyed Munster. Memories like these need to be cherished as they unfortunately don’t come along that often.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A WARRIORS SUPPORTER -
I started following Glasgow away back in the days of matches at Hughenden and then going onto Firhill before arriving at Sctostoun, absolutely love the camaraderie of rugby supporters both home and away and my Fridays nights out at Scotstoun.
Managed to convince my pal Davie who was a diehard Tartan Army supporter to switch sides and come along to watch a decent sport. Since then he hasn’t looked back and we have had some tremendous trips the last few years, particularly to Montpellier, Lyon and La Rochelle going on the charter. Brilliant fun and would recommend it to all supporters to give it a go. Davy now has every bit of kit from the Macron tent and is recognised as soon as he walks in ๐Ÿ™‚
IF YOU WEREN'T A WARRIORS SUPPORTER THEN WHO WOULD YOU SUPPORT -
have always supported Scottish rugby so would go with Edinburgh (boo I hear some of you say!) only having 2 teams we have to get behind both of them.
WHAT DO YOU MISS -
without a doubt missing the Friday nights at Scotstoun and catching up with good friends we have met over the years, really missed the French trips for the Heineken Cup but would genuinely love a completely different trip in the Champions cup somewhere different. Watching on television is not the same as being there and moaning at Clancy ๐Ÿ™‚
Looking forward to getting back to normal times hopefully soon.
